When you have a car in St. Paul or Minneapolis, or in any other part of
Minnesota including Rochester or Duluth, you have options if you want to
get rid of it. For many MN residents, finding a new owner for an unused
car is a task met with trepidation and anxiety because of all that's
involved with MN car sales. But as we said you have options, and not all
of them are difficult and involved.

Your Car, Your Choice

As vehicle owner you have options when the time comes to sell or
otherwise remove a vehicle from your property. And before we get too far
ahead let us mention, too, that this also applies to other types of
vehicle sales and removal in Minnesota. The same options you have for
selling or removing a car are the options for selling or removing
virtually any type of vehicle (so when we say you can donate car to us,
know also that you can donate boat, RV, snowmobile, motorcycle…donate
vehicle of any type and qualify for the benefits that will be outlined
herein).

The three basic options you have when you want to be rid of an unwanted
or underused vehicle in MN include:

• Private car sale
• Car trade-in
• Car donation

For all intents and purposes, car sales and trade-ins equate to the same
thing and carry the same types of risks, so for our purpose here we'll
include them in the same category. Only car donations are unique in
their rewards, as we'll see next.

Selling A Car In Minnesota

Selling a car and making a little profit seems like the most valuable
option at first, but if you really look into it the risks and
obligations may outweigh the financial benefit. To sell a car in MN you
have to

• Spend money in advertising
• Spend money on repairs
• Be willing to accept liability risk if the vehicle isn't in perfect
condition
• Be willing to meet with multiple buyers and allow for test drives
• Be ready to negotiate and barter
• Manage all registration and title transfers

And in the end, you are left at the mercy of the buyer or salesperson
(if you opt to trade the vehicle in). Quite likely, you'll be talked
down to bare-minimum value or probably even less just to be rid of the
vehicle. And if the vehicle just will not sell, what then? Salvage and
pay towing expenses, profiting not at all?

Benefit More From MN Car Donations

On the other hand you could donate car to our charity with an easy
online process and still benefit financially. To donate car to our
charity all you have to do is

• Fill in a short and simple 'Donate Vehicle' form
• Field contact call or email from our charity.
• Provide keys and title (if you lost the title, the MN car donation
website can help)
• Wait for our charity to tow your vehicle donation away (for free, of
course)

You'll notice there is no haggling and paperwork involved, but the
benefit of MN car donations to our charity do not stop there; as we
mentioned, there are financial benefits to helping our charity by
donating your car in MN.

• MN car donations qualify for the Fair Market Value Tax Deduction with
the IRS—so even though you do not sell the car for cash, you still get
money via a tax write-off
• MN car donations qualify you for free vacations—your choice for all
your qualified car donations of hotel accommodations, cruises, and more

Together, these benefits will add up to more than the profit you can get
from a car sale or trade-in. Add to that the satisfaction of giving to a
worthy charitable cause, and you definitely come out the clear winner as
you get rid of that vehicle burden. But we said the decision was up to
you; so what's easier, a MN vehicle donation or sale? We think you know
the answer now, and you can go right now to donate vehicle online and
generate your tax and vacation rewards.
